FX shield (audio shield for the Teensy 3.6)

hi all,
i love the teensy and the audio library alot, but since i want a single solution for multiple use cases, i thought:
"why not start designing a shield for the teensy 3.6 having all that is needed essentially?"

i know there are some alternatives which are open source software, like the hoxton owl and axoloti, but they lack some things: not enough cpu power, not enough outputs, or too large dimensions for a compact device.

so i dived in my cad designer and started to put the largest components in it.
while doing the layout of parts, i remembered the teesny also has a dual DAC on board, just not 16bit. so i thought: okay, let's add an opamp and headphone jack output.

sadly i am no pcb design expert, so i'll have that done by somebody else.

i just want your opionions on this, and if this is actually do-able.

i know the design will be very tight in space terms, but it 'should' fit in my opinion.
here's the parts layout i came up with:

also, is it OK if i name the project "Teensy FX shield"? or should i rename it to "FX shield for Teensy"? (as it isn't designed by PJRC so far)

state now: i have contacted someone who can design pcb's, just waiting if he's willin g to help us out.
